If a PlayOnline ID with an active FINAL FANTASY XI Content ID has been linked to a Square Enix account with a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account, all new characters created on the FINAL FANTASY XIV service account will start out with a special in-game item.

*

Please note that the following characters not be able to receive a special in-game item:

-

Characters created before you linked your PlayOnline ID (It is, however, possible to receive the in-game item by deleting the characters you created, linking your PlayOnline ID, and then re-creating your characters).

-

Characters created while FINAL FANTASY XI is not being billed (during the free trial period or while all characters have been suspended/cancelled)

*

Players who have only linked their PlayOnline ID to a Square Enix account (but have not transferred FINAL FANTASY XI) are ineligible.

When creating a new FINAL FANTASY XIV character, FINAL FANTASY XI players’ character names will be prioritized. The FINAL FANTASY XIV character’s name will become “Given Name: the character’s name in FINAL FANTASY XI” + “Surname: the name of the character’s World.”

For example:

FINAL FANTASY XI Character name: Destiny

Character’s FINAL FANTASY XI World name: Odin

↓

Usable name in FINAL FANTASY XIV: Destiny Odin

*

Please note that you will not be able to transfer your FINAL FANTASY XI character name in the following cases:

-

If you have created a FINAL FANTASY XIV character before linking your PlayOnline ID (It is, however, possible to transfer Player Character names by deleting the characters you created, linking your PlayOnline ID, and then re-creating your characters).

-

If you create a FINAL FANTASY XIV character while FINAL FANTASY XI is not being billed (during the free trial period or while all characters have been suspended/cancelled).

-

If the character you would like to transfer is not being billed (has been cancelled or suspended)

*

If you have recently created a character, transferred Worlds, or used the Character Reactivation Service on FINAL FANTASY XI, it may take some time before you can transfer your Character name to FINAL FANTASY XIV.

*

Users can create characters with new names without transferring one of their FINAL FANTASY XI character names.

Players who have only linked their PlayOnline ID to a Square Enix account (but have not transferred FINAL FANTASY XI) are ineligible.
